Why do many woman cut their hair short after getting married?

Right now I am trying to grow my hair out. After I had my girls I have mostly had short hair when they were little they always pulled on my hair. I think that after I get my hair as long as I can this time I will have it short from than on. It is hard to maintain nice hair when you have a life and kids. I am not say it cannot be done but you have to make it happen! I was thinking I notice a lot of women cut their hair when they get older too. Great discussion and happy mylotting to you.

I think a lot of times women cut their hair off because they get tired of dealing with it. Especially when you are a mother, you have everyone else's hard to worry about that you really don't have time to worry about yours. Look at Kate, she has 8 children to worry about every day and you know her days are full as it is with all those children.

My hair was down to the middle of my back and over the summer I got hot and just decided to chop it all off. The outcome, well, I didn't like it and neither did the men around me either. I have one man who repeatedly tells me all the time, "Your hair isn't growing back fast enough". Your telling me, I can't wait for it to be long again, but then I know once it gets long again I will probably be wishing it was short again.

Some of my friends also kept their hair long only till marriage, and they wore a shorter haircut after marrying. One of the reasons was to look really at their best for this special occasion. Also they can keep this memory through photos and videos. Since it takes a lot of time and care to look after their long hair, I guess it's much easier to manage short hair.

I will never cut my hair short, my husband likes it long and so do I. I did get it cut right before we got married but that's because I wanted it too look nice. The length didn't change, just got a little style and I did go back to my natural color because my husband liked that too.

Some men like short hair, my man doesn't.

I did not cut my hair short after I got married. My husband likes my hair long and so do I. I has grown very long and is down below the middle of my back. I get it cut twice a year because that's all I need. But it grows fast.

I did get my haircut before I got married but that was just because I wanted it done and styled to look nice, the length didn't go. My husband won't like the short hair, he likes it most when I wear it pulled up and he likes to take it down and play with my hair. He always plays with my hair and sometimes it's annoying because he pulls it hard on accident.

I've my hair short since high school, but senior year I let it grow out some for pictures. I got pregnant senior year and married a month before I graduated. I did have my short and after the delivery I actually let me hair grow out. My ex husband and I separated I cut my hair off because it was easier for me because I worked, went to school and a mother. I still have my hair short I have tried to let my hair grow out, but it doesn't look right on me.

this question also came from my male coworker. My answer is because I am tired dealing with my hair, after giving birth and taking care my children, I have to deal with my messy hair, and I dont have much time to care for it.

My mom did that. After a few years of marriage she chopped ALL her hair off. It used to be so long! I know if I were my dad I would have been P I S S E D off. I think that once you get married or are seriously dating someone, you shouldn't make any major appearance changes without seeing if they are ok with it. That might sound bad, but I met/am dating/married one person and I don't want to see someone else coming home! If my man were trying to make some major changes I would want him to clear it with me, just like I would clear it with him.

Often women cut their hair when having children so the children won't grab it and it's just easier to handle, or so they say. That and sometimes they don't have the time to keep up with it.

Now, there is an actual history behind the cutting of hair though after marriage. Some religious sections believe a woman should cut her after marriage. That way no one else will think they were beautiful or would want them after they are married.

It's a male dominated idea so you may just have to do a little research on your own to prove that idea.

Hello I cut my hair really short after I had my first daughter. And like 6 years ago. It was just so much easier to take care of. I am growing my hair out again and my mom is always telling me that I need a haircut. I like it long. I just recently got a divorce and I feel happy about myself now that my hair is finally growing. People do treat you better with long hair I don't know why that is. And men do look at me differently. Have a great day.
